CM Saab - Are We really prepared? #Omicron #coronavirus #COVID19

Dear CM Saab,

We listened to every word of your Press Conference, last evening, over the preparations for the #OMICRON in Delhi. We are really pleased to note that:

1. Delhi now has 30,000 Oxygen beds that include 10,000 ICUs

2. 6800 ICUs are under construction.

3. 270 wards x 100 = 27,000 Oxygen beds can be arranged in 2 weeks' time if required.

4. The Total capacity can be enhanced to 63,800 Oxygen Beds including 16,800 ICUs.

Hope you have viewed our Video shared on Twitter, raising certain very important issues. We are sorry, we have got no reply to most of the points raised by us.

Anyhow, Our Doubts/ Questions are as below:

1. How many Ventilators do we have for the 16,800 ICUs?

2. How many ECMO machines do we have for the 16,800 ICUs?

3. Do you think, the 750 MT Oxygen Capacity at various hospitals + 121 MT local production is enough to meet the challenges of 36,800 Oxygen beds, including 16,800 ICUs, 24x7 at various hospitals of Delhi?

4. Do you think that the Bottling capacity of 1500 Private + 1400 being procured, by Delhi Govt., is enough to provide Oxygen to 36,800 + 27,000 Oxygen beds in Delhi, in case of an Emergency?

5. Do you think the 6,000 spare cylinders are enough to provide Oxygen to 27,000 Oxygen beds in various Municipal wards of Delhi, in case of any severe Emergency?

6. Do you think a buffer stock of 2 months requirement of medicines will be enough to serve 63,800 patients every day?

7. Have you developed any mechanism to check the Black marketing of Medicines, Oxygen & other essential commodities/services, in case of an emergency situation?

8. Have you ordered any limits on the Tariff structure of Private hospitals, which just bill everything at inflated prices?

9. Have you formed any Control room to look into the timely supplies all over, i.e. Medicines, Doctors, Nursing Staff, Ambulances, etc., to reduce the casualties?

10. Have you negotiated with Insurance Companies for low-priced Mediclaim to serve Delhiites during #COVID19 #OMICRON?

11. If Delhi Government Hospitals are well equipped now, can we expect that our leaders if infected, will get the Treatment at Delhi Government Hospitals only & won't move to any of the Private Hospitals?

Can just hope that you will revert.

With best regards,

B S Vohra

B S Vohra, president of the East Delhi RWA Joint Front — an umbrella body of resident welfare groups — said that the police and other agencies need to build awareness among residents. “Change has to be behavioral; if that doesn’t happen then these bans won’t be successful. Along with penalizing, the police needs to work on sensitizing people and tell them the impact of cracker-bursting,” he said.

HT - Crackers Ban in Delhi?

Resident Welfare Associations (RWA) also agreed that the sale and purchase of firecrackers were happening discreetly in their areas.

“The sale and purchase are definitely happening, but these bans should not be imposed because ultimately the religious sentiments of people are involved. What the government can do is educate people about the impact of bursting firecrackers and how it adversely affects our health. Ultimately, we are all dying breathing this polluted air. Once that awareness comes, people will stop bursting crackers themselves,” said BS Vohra, president of East Delhi RWAs Joint Front.
